Re: Good beginner lizard?
Leopard geckos are pretty cute and easy too, but they do require a bit more than cresties or gargs. They do need high temperatures, which means a heat source and thermostat, which adds quite a bit to start up costs, and their diet consists entirely of insects so upkeep costs are higher as well since you need to either buy insects frequently or breed your own. Great pets though and just as easy to care for as cresties or gargs if you don't mind dealing with bugs.
I guess leos and reptile stuff must be a lot cheaper down there than they are in Canada if you can set them up for $75? Here I'd be paying over $100(with the thermostat being the most expensive part) not including the lizard. Don't think I've seen a leo for less than $50 here, but I do know there are a lot more breeders in the states.
